-Paranoia is a mental health issue.
-Many subjects brought forth on ATS can cause paranoia.
-Therefor ATS contributes to mental health issues.
The thin line is how an individual reacts to the paranoia. There are obviously individuals who can react very negatively to paranoia. Let's not kid ourselves as though everyone is equally capable in dealing with paranoia in a constructive way.

Oh come on, you forgot shows like Dr. Phil, Extreme Makeover home edition, Celebrity rehab, Look how many freakin kids we have, etc. They are all helpful right?

I apologize you are right. They are really very helpful. However, it's always bothered me that these Celebrities on TV all seem to need rehab. If TV is so healthy from a mental point of view, why do they need rehab?

Paranoid person who is a member of ATS forum will attempt to respond to all postings with a defensive attitude attempting to eliminate every possibility that those postings are "aiming" at him.

If conspiracy sites are not to be allowed, then they should start by banning ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the other major news centers like that for the conspiracy they are perpetrating by being a part of the status quo setup that tries to control what information they try to spoon feed us. This is my own private personal opinion, and one that I feel that most members of ATA/BTS would agree with.

"Paranoia" is a Personality Disorder, although it is officially called paranoid personality disorder. It is listed under Axis II of the DSM IV, which is the official diagnostic manual of the APA. So, presently paranoia is a mental disorder.
